Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

people who have no clue how wide their car is
I may be exagerating
but that gap was big enough for him to get through with FEET to spare!!!

To be fair, it *can* be hilarious. My daughter's school is at the end of a narrow but 2 lane country lane. There is room for two cars to pass, but it is a little snug in places. The important thing to note however is that the side of the road is a very firm mud and moss bank, then woodland.

When the school coaches come out, there is, almost always, someone in one of those massively expensive 4x4s - either a custom Range Rover or Mercedes G Class "stuck" trying to get past the coach. It's just hilarious. They don't seem to know that they are driving offroaders. They are TERRIFIED of the verge. I just want to get out and shout ITS A F****ING OFFROADER YOU OVERPRIVELIGED MORON. And the coach drivers just sit and watch and laugh. They aren't backing up.

I laugh every time.

Alternatively...

My stepdaughter found the one who was NOT afraid of verges... SD stopped her car in a narrow Devon lane when approached by a 4WD. Driver of 4WD decided that it was perfectly sensible to continue by driving along the steep embankment to pass, rather than reversing to the nearest passing place...

That idea worked really well for all of about 3 seconds, before the 4WD toppled down onto car of SD!!

I thought that the story might have been slightly exaggerated until I saw the roof of SD's car. The insurance settlement hadn't come through at that point so the damage hadn't yet been fixed. I could clearly see the dents and scrapes along the TOP of the car's roof!
